Mother-of-three Jennifer Strange, 28, died on Friday after consuming more than a half gallon (two liters) of water in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest organised by KDND 107.9 radio in Sacramento, northern California.

Assisted Darwinism?  I'm guessing it had never occurred to the radio station staff that their stunt might not be safe.  After all, it's only water, right?

a nurse called after the stunt was announced (while it was going?) and informed the DJs of water intoxication. They blew her off.

Well that will make for a slam-dunk on the wrongful death civil suit, eh?

What morons.
